"What the fuck? What is this even for??" Where the Old Bailey goes into recess.

(It's probably a vehicle entrance later bricked up, perhaps for security reasons, left as a smokers alcove, then gated off when being awful to the #homeless became a priority.)

Someone in dungarees and a bandanna stands in front of a wide arched recess in the side of a building, which has metal bars across it and a locked gate in that barring.

Home after home after home after home.
All of them are #empty.
In #WrongLondon you are #alone.

#Walktober #London #StreetPhotography #photography #loneliness #psychogeography

A long outdoor corridor in a block of flats, doors to them on the right side, and a balcony on the left. The floor is wet with rain despite a ceining above.

Walthamstow Central seemed a little… confused about the #time, when I #Walktober'd to there after a Halloween party.
These were taken within 30 seconds, first to last

London Underground station display board with the time '01:27:23' at the bottom, and above it 'Victoria Line' and 'Platforms 1&2 - Southbound'

View along a London Undergound platform, with a tube stopped, doors closed. A departures display board has the time '02:24.18', and above it 'All trains go to King's Cross St. Pancras, Euston and Victoria'

View towards the end of a London Underground platform. Behind safety barriers, near the ceiling, there's an analog clock face displaying the time as two o'clock

"Hello, are you here for my #cooking class 'Roasted Chesnuts au naturel?"

A squirrel stands on hind legs facing the camera, behind it is an electric stovetop amid undergrowth.

A lunchtime wander where I took in some #Shoreditch #streetArt

#Sculpture by #ElephantManSculpture, and an unidentified pigeon-maker too, mosiac by #Invader, and I'm not sure who the pasteup for potential tomorrow's Satan is by 😉

#Walktober #London #photography

A narrow sculpture of an elephant sits on a wall with a 'empathy revolution' sign attached below it.

A sculpture of a cartoon like pigeon peers down from the end of an ornate stone support.

A space invader mosaic is on a wall, further behind flowers are painted onto a different wall

An image has been pasted onto a red brick wall, of a child with staring eyes and wide open arms. Between the arms and over the head are the words "NOT TODAY SATAN" and 'NTS' is on the child's t shirt.

'Cause I'm writing to reach you
I might never reach you
Only want to teach you, about you
But that's not you

Night photo of two statues made out of ligustrum shrub, one on a small grassy platform in water, the other opposite and higher than it, on underlit seating. They are facing each other, and both are darker than their surroundings

"I'm going on an #ADVENTURE!!"

"Who needs humans anyway?"
"Well, they do make good fertiliser…"

#NaturePhotography #flowers #Walktober #London #photography #FlowerPhotography

In front of a window they're are flowers in a planter box with one long stem or branch winding upwards, and above there's more flowers and branches, one of which winds down and intertwines with the one reaching upwards.

Whooooshing past like a spirit of the #wind 🌬️

#StreetPhotography #LongExposure #walktober #cyclist #photography #Photomonday #London

Photo of a street with houses and skyscrapers behind. A translucent/motion-blurred cyclist is visible on the right side, the face most visible, body fading away and bicycle below just a blur. There's a blurred area a distance ahead of them.

#Walktober-ing around #CamdenTown I spy an unexpected new face!

#paredolia #FacesInPlaces #London #Camden #photography

A door has two large googley eyes on it, and a wide mustache above the letterbox, creating the appearahce of a face.

And because of the time of year, some of them kinda spooky! 😅

#Walktober #Halloween

A scarecrow has an fancy but worn jaket, mismatched and staring eyes, and a floppy hat tied on with a red scarf

One baby doll and seven smaller doll heads are on the inside ledge of a window looking out

A lighter @Metwalkers Ramble today - this one designed as an introduction for newbies with easy drop out points. But still so many new things to be seen!

#LoveLondonWalkLondon #Walktober #walking #RamblersUK #London #photography #naturePhotography

A hanging blue square/diamond sign on a street wall reads "one day you might miss today" in black handwriting

A shiny black classic convertable has a 'Just Married' sign on the back.

People are walking up a hill in a forest, whilst light streams down through the forest canopy.

A white egret flies, its wings beating down

#Walktober #Halloween #photography #London

Four pumpkins with different faces and other designs on them sit on a brick wall

Night photo of a lit up pumpkin face with an unimpressed expression. In front of it is a bone cat and a hedge covered in fake spiderweb

Wandering around familiar bits of #Spitalfields, I saw some of these people-shaped shutter-holders. Wonderful bits of #history out on the street

#Walktober #LoveLondonWalkLondon #FacesInPlaces #photography #London

A wooden shutter is held open by moveable metal holders in the shape of a human head and shoulders. The nearer of the two holders is rusted and weathered.

Next to closed wooden shutter are moveable metal holder in the shape of a human head and shoulders that could be used to hold it open.

Brompton Cemeterbees!

#Bees #InsectPhotography #insects #BromptonCemetery #NaturePhotography #London #Photography #Walktober

A bee is flying in the air, wings spread.

Bees are flying in the air, one of them sharply in focus

Five hives have a number of bees flying around one side of them

The cottage by the #Barbican. I've walked past the area, even down this street many times before, but never spotted this wonderfully distinctive house.
And to be fair to its name—compared to the buildings around, it is a cottage!

#Walktober #architecture #LoveLondonWalkLondon #history #photography #London #CityOfLondon

An old brick building with prominent arches above its windows, old wooden shutters with diamond cut outs, and a small porched door with a sign saying 'The Cottage'

Today, I did a morning walk, changing my route to work as I was early (for once!) And as a result, I now know about the Old Boars Head Theatre

#walktober #history #LoveLondonWalkLondon

The glass side to a building has paintings of three women in historical English dreses painted onto it. There's someone walking past the front of it holding an umbrella.

And today, I only went for a short #Walktober wander (as yesterday was over 22 miles!) But I still found a few streets I'd not walked down before, and this #HS2 CUBE!

#architecture #photography #london

A large square building has a number of vents on it and perhaps one window, but no other signs of being built for use by people.

Yesterday I went to #Battle! And I did not Ramble alone ( @Metwalkers )
And from thence? To #Hastings! Lots of lovely #country and #coastal views. And the Hastings bonfire at the end, which is a whole 'nother thread (to come!)

#Walktober #RamblersUK #photography #walking #sussex

People are walking along a muddy path next to a stream, surrounded by greenery.

A view of a radar station on a raised gantry by the coast. Two orientations of the spinning dish are overlaid atop each other.

View down over bushy hills to a seaside town and its beaches.

People walking down a green hill, in the distance there's a beacon, and beyond that a pier sticking out into the sea.

I love the thousands of tiny ways #London changes, yet #history remains. The mural on the right has been there since 2016, but the one further back on the left is pretty new. And the sign above on the right? Is as old as 0171!
